INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of a Swiftech™ H20-APEX liquid cooling system! This kit has been designed to facilitate the installation of the components with a minimum or no of case modifications. While all attempts have been made to make the installation of this system user friendly, please note that this system is intended for users that are well versed in installing computer components.
The following table contains examples on how to establish connections between the different elements of a cooling circuit based on multiple possible configurations. These are guidelines only, and may change depending on the relative position of the components inside your chassis.
3. 4. 1. Pump Reservoir RADIATOR INSTALLATION The MCR80-QP Radiator ships pre-assembled with our 80mm fan, as shown in figure 1. All you need to do is re-use the existing fan screws, or fan retention mechanism. An alternate installation is also possible as shown in figure 2, by using the provided M3.5mm x 30mm screws, going through the computer panel, though the fan, and to the radiator.
2. APOGEE WATER-BLOCK INSTALLATION One or more Patents pending This product is intended for expert users. Please consult with a qualified technician for installation. Improper installation may result in damage to your components. Swiftech™ assumes no liability whatsoever, expressed or implied, for the use of these products, nor their installation.

The Apogee water-block ships pre-installed with the multi-socket hold-down plate. In order to install your Apogee with AMD’s AM2 socket, you will need to remove the existing hold-down plate and replace it with the AM2 model as follows: Step 1: loosen all 4 screws using the included hex key, and set aside the standard hold-down plate. Step 2: place the AM2 hold-down plate on the Apogee body, and fasten all four screws in cross pattern. You can now use your Apogee with AM2 socket.
3. RE-INSTALLING THE MOTHERBOARD Now that the APOGEE water-block is securely fastened to the motherboard, go-ahead and install the motherboard into the chassis, following the instructions provided in your motherboard installation guide. 4. PUMP INSTALLATION General Use The MCP350™ pump is a magnetically driven centrifugal pump featuring a 12 V DC brushless motor. It requires no maintenance when used with de-mineralized water and the appropriate anti-fungal additives.
5. MCRES-MICRO RESERVOIR INSTALLATION Installation • The MCRES-MICRO can be installed in any suitable location meeting its form factor requirements. For filling and bleeding purposes, it is preferable to hold or to install the MCRES-MICRO at the highest point of the liquid cooling loop. However, once filled and hermetically closed, the reservoir can be installed practically anywhere as long as it is kept upright as shown in figure 1.
6. .PREPARING THE TUBING Now that your radiator, water-block, pump and reservoir are in place, it is time to cut segments of tubing and connect the devices together. In addition to the supplied high quality vinyl tubing, your kit also comes with a 40” length of Smartcoils which, when extended provides a sufficient length to wrap 6 feet of tubing. Use of these coils is mandatory in order to prevent kinking and flattening of the tube over time.
Prior to fill-up the circuit, you will need to re-install your power-supply in order to start-up the pump during the fill procedure. You must be able to start the PSU without it being connected to the motherboard. While the Internet contains numerous references on how to use a paper-clip to shortout pin 13 and 14 of the 20 pin ATX connector as shown below, we nonetheless recommend instead using a power-supply tester.
